one right here, right now, and you never know, it
could be yours.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
It could be yours. Buggel up and hold on tight.
We got it for you here it is Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Well, thank you, nephew. Subject Why does she get to
quit her job? And I don't? Dear Stephen Shirley, my
co worker is marrying my side piece. I had no
idea we were sleeping with the same man until one
of our other co workers sent me a screenshot of
her safe hold on.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Sure you gotta let him drink that again?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Read that again? Yeah, we'll fast. Okay, go.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Dear Stephen Shirley, my co worker is marrying my side piece.
I had no idea we were sleeping with the same
man until one of our other co workers sent me
a screenshot of her Save the date. Okay, so these
two people are sleeping with the same guy. They work together,

(01:11):
all right, I'm not invited to the wedding because me
and the girl aren't close. I work in a different
department because we're always but we're always cordial when we
see each other. I told my side piece that I
work with his fiance and we're really close, just to
see what he'd say. All he said was Holly said,

(01:32):
is that he never even asked me where I work.
He just knows I do something in health insurance. He's
a narcissist, so I'm not surprised. When we're together, all
he talks about is himself and all his money. He
never asked how I'm doing or what I've got going on.
He does a lot with trading and bitcoin, and I
don't know exactly how he makes his money, but he

(01:53):
has a lot of it and he's very generous with it.
He has paid off my credit card for me, and
he but me a hot tub for my backyard.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I'm married.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I'm going to go slowly again because you got to
drink that one in for sure.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Okay, I'm married and my husband works in another state,
so I have weekdays and nights to myself. The side
dude has been in a serious relationship since I met
him and they live together, and he and I meet
up at one of his rental properties to spend quality
time together. Now that I know who his significant other is,

(02:32):
that doesn't change a thing for me. Look, we're both
low down, so what's the big deal. My only problem
is that his fiance told one of the girls at
work that she's quitting in November when she gets married.
I know her man is wealthy, but it's not fair
she gets to quit and all I got was a

(02:53):
hot tub and a few purses. I've been with him
two years? Is it time to leave him? If I
can't get equal treatment? Please advise, girl?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Are you for real? Are you for real? Are you
for real? Right now? What do you want from us?
You have everything a side piece could want.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
You have a husband of your own, you're gainfully employed.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
And you have a side piece. Come on, is that
not enough for you?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
So now that your side piece is marrying someone you
know and work with, you're mad and you want equality
with his fiance?

Speaker 3 (03:29):
What his Beyonce?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
You gotta make this make sense to all of us. Okay,
don't you know that there are no rules in this
side piece game?

Speaker 3 (03:37):
None?

Speaker 1 (03:38):
It's not fair. We don't expect it to be fair.
It never has been fair. Side piece will always lose
and come in second always. That's just how the game
is played. You get what you get, and what you
got in this instance some bags and atup and your
credit card paid off. Okay, you don't get to quit
your job, side piece. This kind of stuff is reserved

(03:59):
for Beyonce, not you. You have a husband who lives
in another state. He should be doing that for you.
But what kind of marriage do you have anyway? You
didn't even explain that. Okay, But back to your side piece,
who is wealthy you say, and not doing certain things
for you. Please understand there will never be equal treatment
for you, miss sidepiece. It doesn't matter if you've been

(04:20):
with him two years or twenty years.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Okay. Side pieces have to take what they can get, period.
Your side piece, Steve.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Why does she get to quit her job? And I don't?

Speaker 4 (04:35):
If we could have a segment on this show called
stupid Question of the day, this one right here, stupid
question of the day.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Why does she get to quit her job? And I don't? Well,
because of who she.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Is, because of what she does, because of what she means,
because of what she represents. Because of her standards that
she's held on to, because of her class.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
All of these things.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
When's you a ticket to the house, but you found
out that your coworker is marrying your side peace, I
had no idea we were sleeping with the same man
into one of our coworkers sending me a screenshot of
her save to day. Then she says, I'm not invited
to the wear because me and the girl aren't close.

(05:39):
Oh but you are, Oh but you are. You are
so close, y'all damn near related. You're the same family wise,
y'all close, y'all shared the same man, y'all close. He's

(06:02):
been on how he been on you? You can I
don't know how much closer you can get. Okay, you
share an item that belongs to someone else, and you
have an item that belongs to somebody else, and you

(06:25):
passing your item out to two.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
People, and he passing.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
His item out to you, her and probably somebody else.

(07:55):
let's recap today's crazy Strawberry letter.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Why does she get to quitter? And I don't?

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Well, the reasons she get to quit her job and
you don't is because of what she represents to this
man that we found out this woman in this letter
don't tell us right off the top, but this man
is her side piece. We'll find out later on in
the letter why acide piece? But she found out that
one of her coworkers. This woman is sleeping with her

(08:22):
side piece because a coworker sent him a screenshot of
her saved and date. So she ain't just sleeping with him.
She actually getting the commitment from him. She's having a
wedding with the dude that you say is your side piece,
and you saying you ain't invited to the wedding because
me and the girl aren't close, But oh you are,
though you are so close. You all share the same man.

(08:48):
He on her, he come over here and get on you.
He and this, seeing that he and this, seeing that
he everywhere, y'all are close.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
You just ain't know. Y'alls close.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
And you and the girl, and you say y'all work
in different departments, but we always called you when we
see each other.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I told my side piece she.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
Can call this man up and said, I work with
your fiance and we really cold close.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Just to see what he say. All he said is
that he never even asked. I don't even know where
you work.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
I ain't know you work with her. I don't even
know where you work. All I know is you do
something in health insurance. Because he ain't got to know
nothing about you because he ain't interested. He's a narcissist,
so I'm not surprised. He's a narcissist and you a fool.
So narcissist meets fool, and here we have your relationship.

(09:48):
When we're together, all they talk about is himself. That's
why he ain't know where your ass work and all
of his money. Well that's what got you. He never
asked how I'm doing or what I got going on.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
He don't care.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
But I bet he know what your coworker doing today,
what she going through. He tells a lot with trading
and bitcoin, and I don't know exactly how it makes
his money. Lady. It's starting to sound like a dope boy,
But he got a lot of it, and he's very
generous with it. He'd have paid off my credit card

(10:25):
for me, and he bought me a hot tub for
my backyard. But oh when he brought you that hot
tub though, yeah, I bet that was God. I'm married
and where did comes from? Where you mad all through
the letter a minute ago. I'm married and my husband
